Background
SLC30A8 Antibody: SLC30A8 is a zinc efflux transporter involved in the accumulation of zinc in intracellular vesicles and is expressed at a high level in the pancreas, particularly in islets of Langerhans, and co-localizes with insulin in the secretory pathway granules of the insulin-secreting INS-1 cells (1) . Allelic variants of SLC30A8 have been identified as major genetic risk factors for the development of Type 2 diabetes (2), but no genetic association has been found with Type 1 diabetes (3) . SLC30A8 expression in -cells was found to be influenced by cytokine expression, particularly IFN-gamma and IL-1beta (4) .

Storage Conditions
SLC30A8 antibody can be stored at 4˚ C for three months and -20˚ C, stable for up to one year. As with all antibodies care should be taken to avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
Fragment
IgG
Specificity
Two isoforms of SLC30A8 are known to exist; this antibody will detect both isoforms. This SLC30A8 antibody is predicted to not cross-react with other members of the SLC30 protein family.
